Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 35 minutes

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

• 4 slices whole-grain sourdough bread
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 tbsp olive oil, divided
• 1.5 cups low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/2 ripe avocado
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• Pinch of salt and black pepper (to taste)
• 2 tsp Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional)
• Fresh basil or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. **Prep Tomatoes:** Preheat oven (or air fryer) to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved cherry tomatoes with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.
2. **Blister Tomatoes:** Roast (or air fry) for 8-10 minutes, until tomatoes are softened and slightly blistered. Remove from oven and set aside.
3. **Toast Bread:** While tomatoes roast, toast the sourdough bread to your desired crispness.
4. **Make Avocado Drizzle:** In a small bowl, mash the 1/2 avocado with fresh lime juice, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper until smooth and drizzly. Add a splash of water if needed to reach desired consistency.
5. **Assemble Toast:** Spread approximately 3/8 cup (or 6 tablespoons) of low-fat cottage cheese evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
6. **Top & Drizzle:** Divide the warm blistered tomatoes among the four toasts. Drizzle generously with the creamy avocado lime sauce.
7. **Garnish & Serve:** Sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning and fresh chopped basil or chives, if desired. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Chef's Note

For an extra layer of flavor and texture, lightly brush your bread with olive oil and pan-fry it until golden before spreading the cottage cheese. Don't skip the avocado drizzle – it adds a luxurious creaminess and healthy fats that perfectly balance the dish!

Make-Ahead Tips

The avocado drizzle is best made fresh. You can halve the cherry tomatoes ahead of time, and blister them just before serving. Toasting the bread and assembling should always be done right before eating for optimal crispness.

Substitutions

Swap sourdough for your favorite whole-grain bread like rye or multigrain. For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomatoes or cottage cheese. Try different fresh toppings like thinly sliced radishes, cucumber, or a sprinkle of microgreens.
